Bumps

Day 1 M1 trained throughout Easter Term with only one target in mind: to bump Pembroke II. Delays earlier in the day meant there was no time to run through our usual race warm-up. We arrived at our station near […]

After a chastening first day and redemption of sorts yesterday we lined up chasing Eddies M1 (who bumped us on day 1) and chased by Pembroke M2 (who bumped Christs M2 yesterday), expecting a tough race. In spite of a […]
